The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham
5.0
This book was amazing. I was interested in reading more about this time in Canada and boy did it deliver. I loved it so much that I bought it, even though I received this as a digital ARC from Netgalley. :)
The characters were endearing andI fell in love with Winny, Mary, Jack, Edward and Cecil. They were well fleshed out and their stories told with such care and tenderness. I could feel the banter, love and loyalty this band of urgents from the streets of London had for each other. The author passed back and forth gracefully through the past and present. I looked forward to seeing the reaction of Winny's grandson Jamie to her story and him wanting more.
Don't get me wrong this book had a lot of hard times mentioned but the author handled those times brilliantly.
Huge thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for giving me a chance to read this story and teaching me something new about this country I now make my home in.
